I love that you know what it is!
We are going to take the bridge off, shave it down and glue it to the body. Those screws are the only thing holding it down right now. This mod was done on my buddy's guitar and made a solid improvement.

No, Noel - I've known for quite a while I had a problem, but I thought I finally had a handle on it after resisting all temptation for the past year. So, that's why I wrote the original post - a public 'coming-out', if you will! All this stuff with the gold sparkle Strat happened in the past 48 hours. How ironic that it should happen less than a month after my original post! My problem may be bigger than I previously realized..... Ivan |

And..............it's Sparkle................ That's SO much more justifiable to fall off the wagon for than the $100.00 Ride cymbal I've been talking myself out of for a week or the 70's era transistor amp I found Or............. —http://www.facebook.com/CrazyAcesMusic |

Thanks, Ivan! I feel soooo much better now. But I do seem to remember you telling me not so long ago not too think to much about that really nice original Super Reverb I told you about. It's still there, BTW. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Last edited: Oct 29, 2014 23:16:34 |

If blackface and under $1300 grab it immediately, if silverface(non master vol) and under $1000 grab it immediately. People like me, who espouse these amps, will only cause the value to go up! |

Which year? While they don't go for as much as the blackface they are still great depending on the year. I love Super Reverbs. |
I'm sure someone here would have bought it out from under you if necessary, just to help of course.
Yep! Thanks for your support, Jeff, I do appreciate it. I've been working on rationalizing my behavior and I think I've got it: I figure as long as I keep the number of my Strats below this, I'm OK. (It's important to set realistic goals...)
That's a very dangerous road you're about to take, Noel.... 
( 7 strats)
